Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

Some TNG cast members...  THE ENTRIES: [111] Defiant, USS (no card required) [112] "Defiant" [113] Degebian mountain goat [114] Deinonychus VII [115] "Déjà Q" NOTES:   [111] The ship was released in The Dominion expansion. [112] Both a persona of Thomas Riker and an infiltrator posing as William T. Riker. Source: "Defiant" [113] Could be used to derail your opponent's probe or card draw, but they can do the same to you later. Source: Referenced in "The Sword of Khaless"; pic from Space Otters website [114] The Cargo Bay site must exist on the attempting crew's ship. While there is a planet in shot, this is a space mission. Source: "A Fistful of Datas" [115] Q-Events play like Events, Q-Interrupts play like Interrupts. Q-Artifacts and Dilemmas cannot be played unless you can somehow play a dilemma from your hand (as under Q's Planet). When encountering this card, a number of cards equal to the number of Q-icon cards left in t...

The big ones were later made by Decipher, but we'll see my takes... THE ENTRIES: [106] Deep Space 9 (no card required) [107] Deep Space Station K-7 [108] deep tissue scan [109] "Defector, The" [110] Defiant (mirror) Decipher's versions for comparison (it's really split into three cards): Okay, back on track... Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [106] Already exists as a Bajoran facility in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [107] Because of the way later cards treated Timeline cards, this is one of the most redesigned cards I've had to post. It just didn't work. In its final form, the Tribbles that play here are the previously-released Tribble personnel card, which would work well with a Tribbles side-deck because it can "turn" into 1 Tribble, ready to be reported again. Timeline disruption in 2267: If the timeline is disrupted by Kirk dying early in his career, history is changed so that the Khitomer accords were never signed in ST VI an...

A lot of stations... THE ENTRIES: [101] dedication plaque (no card required) [102] Deela [103] Deep Space 3 [104] Deep Space 4 [105] Deep Space 5 NOTES:  [101] Already exists as Defiant Dedication Plague, an Event in Deep Space Nine expansion. [102] War Orphan is a dilemma that would normally target her. Source: "Cardassians" [103] A kind of Nor for the Feds, but not all the Sites play here. And no, it can't be seeded. Source: Referenced in "Interface" [104] Can't be seeded, and non-Fed personnel can't report to it normally. Source: Referenced in "The Chase" [105] Docked ships remain at the location when the AU Door closes. You may replay the station when the door is open again. Source: "Parallels" Next up: The big ones were later made by Decipher, but we'll see my takes. Cards: Deela, Deep Space 3, Deep Space 4, Deep Space 5

Today: A bit of archaeology... THE ENTRIES: [96] Debin [97] Debrune [98] Decius (no card required) [99] DeCurtis, Ensign [100] Dedestris NOTES:  [96] If there is no romantic involvement in the personnel's lore, then the boost applies. Source: "The Outrageous Okona" [97] Why at the Dubrune entry? Because the race is an offshoot of the Romulans/Vulcans and their ruined outposts contained pieces of the Stone artifact. The NA Away Team must be unmixed, obviously. Source: "Gambit, Part II" [98] This Romulan personnel was given a card in the Alternate Universe expansion. [99] Keep him with that pesky infiltrator so as not to get any strange orders issued. Source: "Whispers" [100] Another of those Delta Quadrant missions that are designed for specific DQ species/micro-affiliations, which is how I thought the DQ folk would work in the game, until Decipher surprised me with non-NA Vidiians, Kazon, etc. Not that Sikarians would have become a full affiliation. Th...

A rare Star Trek Christmas moment... THE ENTRIES: [91] "Deadlock" [92] Deadwood [93] Dealt, Lieutenant Commander Hester [94] Dean, Lieutenant [95] "Death Wish" Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [91] You'll need Vidiians for some Delta Quadrant missions, so I made a universal one. He was nameless on the show, so I gave him the name of the actor who played him, Ray Proscia. Decipher named him Nadirum and released him in their Voyager expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Deadlock" [92] Since Ancient West turns your Deadwood-specific [holo] personnel into androids, you can see how the game text would become relevant. Source: "A Fistful of Datas" [93] Source: "The Child" [94] When in play, you can take advantage of Manheim's doorway by downloading the card about to be played by your opponent, thus creating an instant hiccup. The first name is taken from the person who inspired the character's name in the fir...

Okay, one last Dax entry, but it's not a Dax card... THE ENTRIES: [86] "Dax" [87] Day, Colonel (no card required) [88] Dayos IV [89] Daystrom Institute [90] de Laure belt NOTES:  [86] The first function affects both players' personae. Gets rid of those pesky Garaks. Release of captured personnel only occurs at countdown's end. One way to use this: self-seed Extradition and allow your opponent to capture you (difficult, but you might want to look at infiltrators), then have yourself released to the facility of your choice, even your opponent's. Source: "Dax" [87] Colonel Day got a card in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [88] Adds to the Blood Oath theme. The ship your opponent must decloak is one of theirs, of course. Source: Referenced in "Blood Oath" [89] The Institute seeds during the facility phase. The skill must be named at that time. You may only seed one. Source: "Remembrance" [90] I thought Ferengi would want to attempt thi...

The other half of the Daxes... THE ENTRIES: [81] Dax, Joran [82] Dax, Lela [83] Dax, son of Kang [84] Dax, Tobin [85] Dax, Torias NOTES:  [81] Also a persona of Joran Belar. Source: "Equilibrium" [82] Since Lela was first in so many areas, she can report first to any facility (in the entire game, not any particular turn). Source: "Facets" [83] Kang's son is, to me, the opposite of Alexander Rozhenko while sharing the same exact skills. Source: Referenced in "Blood Oath", pic modified from the Klingon child in Discovery's "Point of Light" [84] A play on both the math skills and the slight-of-hand, the special ability requires you to name any number. If that number is found in the game text, lore, card title or attributes, your opponent must show you that card, or those cards if multiple. (Be honest!) Copyright notices are not legal targets. Source: "Facets" [85] Source: "Facets" Next up: Okay, one last Dax entry, but it...

Getting into Dax's hosts... THE ENTRIES: [76] Dax, Audrid [77] Dax, Curzon [78] Dax, Emony [79] Dax, Jadzia (mirror) [80] Dax, Jadzia (no card required) Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [76] Discussion on how the Daxes work: The order of the hosts is in bold as a special type of persona. The first host can be replaced by the second, the second by the third, etc. but when switched, they are discarded. If, at any time, they are naturally discarded, you may download the next host to that location (if possible) safe and sound. Could lead to an odd theme deck. Jadzia's lore would be errataed to have her eighth host position in boldface, Ezri's with her ninth host position in boldface (do I need to maybe make these in Broken Links?). Source: "Facets" [77] Acts as a single-site Treaty. Note the nemesis icon against The Albino. Source: "Emissary" [78] According to the dates, I'm placing this host as the first to be a member of the Federation. S...

Gearing up to do a bunch of Dax cards... THE ENTRIES: [71] Davila, Carmen [72] Da Vinci Falls [73] Davis, Ensign [74] Davlos III [75] Dax (symbiont) NOTES:  [71] Source: "Silicon Avatar" [72] No matter how many Da Vinci Falls you play, you can only change one requirement on a particular mission. Allows you to change requirements that were already changed through terraforming, even on your opponent's mission. The second function is just for fun and theme's sake, but it allows Leonardo to report outside the Delta quadrant. Source: Referenced in "Second Sight" [73] If there is no adjacent site, the escape cannot occur. Source: "Violations" [74] A big mission for the Ferengi as their STRENGTH isn't going to be high on average. With your opponent playing Klingons, the mission requires STRENGTH>50 and is worth 50 points. Source: "Visionary" [75] My original try at the symbiont itself was a Neutral persona that could survive without a hos...

Today: A Kathryn Janeway... THE ENTRIES: [66] Dathan [67] Dathon (no card required) [68] "Dauphin, The" [69] Davenport, Lucille [70] Davies, Ensign  NOTES:  [66] He may suspend the effects of your or your opponent's Equipment (shuffle together for random selection). That equipment is effectively disabled and cannot help pass dilemmas, solve missions, etc. Source: "Remember" [67] Already exists as a Non-Aligned personnel in the Alternate Universe expansion. [68] The first function presupposes that unimportant Calloway and Simon Tarses only have a mild crush (they are uninteresting anyway), while Wesley is lovestruck a good five turns. Pretty much the episode, I'd say. The limit only applies to the second function, according to the punctuation. Source: "The Dauphin" [69] New icon: Holo-persona (it's the holographic icon in red). I've decided to do holo-persona in the following manner: a Holodeck must be present for them to report/be switched....
